Concordia Cemetery - El Paso, Texas

So one of the things we decided to do on our family trip in El Paso was to visit Concordia Cemetery.  You know, only the best family fun-time activities for us!  Actually, this place was awesome - seemed to be full of history, and vastly different setting than the cemeteries that I'm used to!


The grave of John Wesley Hardin, an outlaw and a gunfighter.  He was shot to death at the age of 42 at the Acme Saloon in El Paso.





It was a really interesting visit, and we learned a bit of the history of the city.  Maybe it would have been nice to have had a guide show us around and tell us about some of the people buried there - there are lifetimes of history there.  I hear they also have a really great Dia de los Muertos celebration there.  Maybe another year!
